This implementation of SPAM filtration is causing legit messages from corporate entities to their employees/customers a permanent block.

It merits mentioning here that masked SMS from international route are not caught in Mobilink’s spam filter.

Mobilink may need to revise its filtering rules, instead it should enhance filter so that legit messages are not blocked. In fact, cellular companies can ask customers to report any number as spammer.

Implementation of spam and setting a criteria for spam filtration is usually neither an easy thing nor the rules can stay in place for in-definite time. If you just take the example of spam email, this will show you how fiercely email service providers fight the spam email. On other hands, spammers always keep looking for new ways to hit the in-boxes instead of spam.

Moreover every mass-communication can’t be spam, as legitimate SMS communication that is carried away with the consent of customers can not be termed as spam.

Telcos do need to revise a lot of implementation of different services. In the past they had really stupid policies for reporting spam. Lets see if it continues like this i would really like the illegal sms advertisement to put to halt on the other hand i would really like to see telcos incorporating legal frameworks into spam protection as my legitimate services who have consent to send sms to their users might get blocked in the next stage of implementation.
